Ultrasound (USS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been used as screening tools for rotator cuff tears with MRI reported as superior. When comparing USS and MRI for supraspinatus tears, less data is available.

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrium‐like epithelial cells and/or stroma located outside the uterus, generally with associated inflammatory response. Commonly located on the ovaries and peritoneum, endometriosis can also infiltrate the retroperitoneal space and pelvic organs, known as deep endometriosis (DE). This narrative review aims to compare the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for detecting deep endometriosis. A literature search was performed mid‐2021 and again in December 2022 using PubMed, SAGE and Wiley databases, and limited to studies published between 2011 and 2021. Key words deep infiltrating endometriosis, transvaginal ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging and diagnostic accuracy identified 16 studies which addressed the aim. The authenticity and reliability were determined by the Standards for Reporting of Diagnostic Accuracy. When the studies were analysed, the diagnosis of DE mean sensitivity values ranged from 40% to 100% for TVUS and 50% to 100% for MRI. Mean specificity values ranged from 81.5% to 99.9% and 84.4% to 97.5%, respectively. This indicates that both MRI and TVUS have similarly accurate performance in the detection of DE. Endometriosis detection is possible with TVUS and MRI, however accuracy is dependent on the location and severity as well as limitations due to operator and image interpretation reliability. In the presence of a correctly performed dynamic TVUS examination for the diagnosis of DE, MRI adds little diagnostic value. Further research is recommended using a standardised protocol in a wider study of affected patients, including accurate clinical assessments for each location of endometriosis to inform the choice of imaging for that region.

Delivering unexpected news is a common task many sonographers face within the clinical setting. Research has shown sonographers do not feel equipped to break unexpected news to pregnant women and their families. The aim of this study was to review current national and international literature to determine whether sonographers receive sufficient training to deliver unexpected news in the obstetric setting and the types of training individuals had received. Keywords were searched using PubMed, Google Scholar and Central Queensland University library. A total of 22 articles were selected for discussion and four main themes were identified during thematic analysis: (1) sonographers felt underprepared to deliver unexpected news, (2) sonographers felt training was or would be beneficial in delivering unexpected news, (3) a standard training protocol and guidelines should be implemented and (4) training and preparation to deliver unexpected news can improve patient care and satisfaction. Improved communication and patient care could be achieved with the implementation of standard guidelines and training, within universities or via professional associations to ensure sonographers are prepared to deliver unexpected news.

Sonographic imaging of the inguinofemoral lymph nodes can be performed in patients with vulvar cancer to discriminate between normal (benign and reactive) and malignant appearing lymph nodes. A systematic sonographic protocol for imaging inguinofemoral lymph nodes is not commonly used, but could aid in homogenising the reporting of lymph node location and status. This paper unpacks the relative anatomy of the inguinofemoral lymph nodes. A protocol outlining the sonographic assessment of inguinofemoral lymph nodes and the criteria to use to guide the reporting of their size, shape, echogenicity and vascular architecture is discussed.

measurements of a cross-section area and then reconstructing them into an image. According to a report, ultrasound has a better temporal resolution in a defined area, in comparison to CT. 16 Temporal resolution is of little importance for most applications of CT, as the structures imaged have minimal or no movement, except in cardiac CT. 17 Hence, fast moving gas bubbles in the IVC and HV, may not be demonstrated on a CT examination. In a water bath study it was demonstrated that ultrasound also has a higher sensitivity in detecting very tiny gas bubbles, in comparison to CT. 16 The experiment showed that immediately after the filling of a cup with water, ultrasound was able to demonstrate countless echogenic foci, representing gas bubbles. However, these gas bubbles only contribute to a slight decrease of density values on CT. Hence no gas bubbles were detectable on CT.

Advances in ultrasound technology and development of higher frequency transducers have enabled ultrasound to have a greater role in the evaluation of stomach pathology in children.1 Since Teele and Smith first described the use of ultrasound in the diagnosis of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) in five infants in 1977, ultrasound has been the examination of choice for diagnosis of HPS and in most institutions has completely replaced fluoroscopy for this purpose.2 The obvious advantage of using ultrasound is the avoidance of ionising radiation. Another advantage of ultrasound is its ability to provide valuable information about the stomach wall and surrounding structures. It is important to recognise the many sonographic appearances of the normal stomach so that they are not interpreted as some sort of pathology. The principal aim of this article is to describe the normal and pathologic appearances of the neonatal stomach and potential interpretation pitfalls. Sonographic technique as performed in our institution is also briefly described.

Clinical audit ensures healthcare is delivered in a standardised and evidence based manner. Detection of fetal anomalies is important to ensure expectant parents have opportunity to make informed decisions about their pregnancy. Audit of detection rates of fetal anomalies can highlight practice, which does not meet national standards, pinpointing gaps in staff education and training to improve this. This paper describes the implementation of a first time obstetric audit of fetal anomaly detection rates within an imaging department positioned in the National Health Service (NHS) of the United Kingdom.

Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is the displacement of the mitral annulus hinge point from the left ventricular myocardium. MAD, which was first recognised in 1986, is of unconfirmed aetiology and was only classified as a syndrome in 2018. The reported prevalence of MAD is widely disputed. The more common and frequently comorbid mitral valve syndrome mitral valve prolapse is around 2%. As such, it is likely that the prevalence of MAD in general population is below 2%. The associated ventricular arrhythmias associated with MAD can potentially resolve in sudden cardiac death (SCD). This case report highlights some of the ‘textbook’ signs and symptoms of MAD, which were identified and aims to raise awareness of a novel yet critical syndrome.
